Granola is one of those things that I make quite frequently as my toddler adores it, and it is SO incredibly fun, easy, and cost-effective to make!

I'm always playing with various flavor combinations, and as a family that also loves their carrot cake, it was just a matter of time before I made this AMAZING Carrot Cake Granola . . .

A jar and a bowl filled with granola rest on a dark surface.

We like it as a healthy breakfast, as a quick pick-me-up afternoon snack, and as a yummy dessert (it's great with vanilla yogurt!). It's now a pantry staple, and I can only hope you love it just as much as we do!
